The Towpath Trail is a unique place for walking, cycling, paddling, and general rural enjoyment!
The Towpath Trail connects Kendal to Lancaster via the original Towpath of the Lancaster Canal. Incorporating both un-watered and watered sections, the Towpath Trail provides stunning off road walking and cycling routes. The Towpath Trail aspires to be fully accessible, welcoming and enabling all users to enjoy the Towpath Trail between historic Kendal and Lancaster. Currently three sections are accessible for disabled people.
The full trail is 27 miles and takes around 11 hours to complete. Helpfully there are ten sections of the trail, with five of them in Cumbria, so it is recommended that you break up the journey and allow time to explore and enjoy each section as you wish.
